My new Macaw that I've only had a few days gets pretty nippy when he's on the ground. He gets really excited when he's walking around too. Constantly banging the floor or hard surface and regurgitating. When I try to pick him back up he usually lunges at me. He'll do it a few times before finally deciding to be nice again and step up like a good boy. I'd like to try and eliminate this behavior if possible. When he does lunge after me I hold my ground and firmly say No, don't bite. Then after a few seconds I will talk nice and ask him to step up again. He's used to having free reign but I can't allow him that here because of my son. Any ideas or thoughts?
